Ok, but you still haven't explained the intention of this proposed change. So what are they expecting to be provided?
"The floor control valve for all intents and purposes is going the way of the dodo bird. Starting with the next edition, each floor for building 3 stories and above must be set-up as an individual system. It's also amusing if you follow the current criteria trail, there is nothing that dictates the floor assembly displayed in A.8.17.4.2(b) is currently required (even on a high-rise)!!!

No change on zoning. Things wil still be done as you see today for high-rises but it will actually be stated (and of course applied to mid-rises as well). Bullseye Mike. You aptly did not identify a water flow switch per floor as part of the high-rise requirements. Fortunately that as never been challenged (and everyone provided one) but other than a reference in the 907 section of the IBC on fire alarms, nada.
